ATW Roster: Tomoya! (Patreon)

Full name: Tomoya Rogers

Named after Tomoya Hasoda and—you guessed it—Mr. Rogers, needless to say Tomoya is 100% babyface material. Good God can he move!  Some would call him a "Wrestler's Wrestler" meaning he works hard at supporting the other talent to include weighing in on conflict, providing affirmations and feedback, and of course being incredibly gentle both in the ring and out of it.

Being a Sneaker Head, all you gotta do to start a Wrestling fued with Tomoya is steal his shoes. Easy as pie.

And now a rant on body politics that you don't need to read at all:

One of the reasons I fell in love with Wrestling was I got so tired of seeing the same kind of face and body over and over and over and over and over again. On TV shows, in movies, online, in ads, games, art and illustration, you name it.

...Don't get me wrong Professional Wrestling isn't actually diverse, but it's MORE diverse.

 And by the Gods, that was good enough. After YEARS hearing people talk about body fat and weight like it was only a problem, it was damn refreshing to see and hear people speak of larger Wrestlers with nothing but reverence.

I would love it—LOVE it—if people carried same reverence for our own bodies no matter what.

Still, there is much toxicity regarding size and weight in Wrestling. For this reason ATW has no "Weight Classes" but "Great Classes" as in Light Great, Mid Great, Heavy Great.  

In other words, size never limits a performer from "competing" in any of the divisions. The only thing being measured is greatness—and Trans Greatness is basically immeasurable. 

I'd love feedback on this if anything sounds iffy

Doot doot doot!
